Power fluctuation: what to observe
It takes years of toil to accumulate wealth but only a flash of power fluctuation to wipe everything out. “Provision of earthing is very important at all power outlets during construction of a house. Many people do not take care to install proper earthing for their power outlets. Thereby they expose the building to all kinds of power hazards,” says an assistant engineer with Andhra Pradesh CPDCL. High voltage of power may have different reasons beginning from faulty connections, carbon accumulation on service wires, sagging HT lines, or jumper cuts. Some times, the fault may originate at the distribution transformer itself. “Using only wires and appliances with ISI certification will go a long way in saving the equipment from power mishaps. Substandard wiring may get damaged even during installation if the insulation breaks open during the winding. It will result in power leakages which may go undetected unless one keeps tag of metre reading,” he says.
